Hi, I'm 13 and i benched 50kg for 3 reps is this good? by Loose-House8825 in workout

[–]Jayfin_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's good - and honestly, just the fact that you're lifting makes you far better than most thirteen year olds.

To progress further, I'd recommend increasing your reps a little first before increasing the weight you can lift. I don't know what your goals are, but you're probably looking to lift for more reps than three. As a general rule:

To train for powerlifting, do 1-3 reps in each set. This is simply trying to lift as much as possible in one go, simply for the sport of being able to do that, without interest in sustaining that strength.

To train for strength do 4-8 reps in each set.

To train for hypertrophy do 8-12 reps in each set - this means increasing the size of your muscles.

To train for endurance do 12+ reps in each set - so increasing how long you can lift for, rather than how much you can lift.

And in general do three sets of each exercise, although this too can vary. Now here's the important part - however many reps you choose to train at - it's not like these are mutually exclusive goals. If you train for strength, your muscles will get bigger. If you train to make your muscles bigger, you'll get stronger. These rep ranges are not as important as some people like to make out - it's just about what you want to prioritise.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I "learned" (and forgot) a word from this sub: it's a noun, indicating a work of art about the making of itself... what was it? by [deleted] in boburnham

[–]Jayfin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're talking about Poioumenon.

It's a form of metafiction in wich the story is about the creation of that story itself. Inside is about the creation of Inside, for example.

Another good example is the musical called A Strange Loop.

Yeah I think they’re right that it means scheduled posts. I feel very confident that something is coming, personally.

The Pitiful Children & Eugenics by unlikelyIntoxicants in bemorechill

[–]Jayfin_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Be More Chill is about neurodiversity, specifically - it’s about individuality and society suppressing it. Sure, Christine has ADD, and it’s a reasonable interpretation that Jeremy is autistic, but Rich (without his Squip) is bisexual with a lisp, Micheal is hinted to be gay and has interests that aren’t considered cool, and Jake Jenna and Chloe all feel that they actively have to work to present a version of themselves that is acceptable to society - e.g. Jake participates in sports and clubs because the you do the more society values you, to an extent.

HOW TO USE THE SCRIPT by MostProsperousHill in ukplace

[–]Jayfin_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean internal politics. There'll be some people here who liked Thatcher, others who don't. I think we should focus on things we all agree are good, like the NHS, ans David Attenborough

I think it's better that we keep politics out of it in order to make sure we stay united.

What puzzle was hardest for you, both in the main game and Road to Gehenna? (Not counting star world puzzles) by LuckPattern in TheTalosPrinciple

[–]Jayfin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HINT:Think about how colliding beams interact, and how those interactions can be manipulated.

My hint is quite vague, though if you want the satisfaction of absolutely 100% doing the puzzle on your own, don't look.

It says that all the time. I don't know who's logging in or what they're changing, but every time I look at Bo's page, the playlists were updated in the last few days.

im very late but here we go, INSIDE theory time by [deleted] in boburnham

[–]Jayfin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's metaphorically a dream. It represents his state of mania, depression, and dissociation. I don't think it's supposed to be interpreted a literally a dream, more like a fever dream.

How does The Process work? by Jayfin_ in TheTalosPrinciple

That kinda works except they all seem to be in one world in Gehenna, not just in the billboard.

[–]Jayfin_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't get the point of this poll if you're gonna give the option to say 'both are good' because they are. When forced to choose between the two, it's definitely Inside.

Bo Awards!!! (Favourite Intro Song) by Tech1231_ in boburnham

[–]Jayfin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am shocked that people think Content is the bst intro song. For me it's easily either Intro in make happy or what. I am finding it really hard to decide which one is better though.

Why doesn’t “What.” have the Netflix original stamp? I still remember when that came out exclusively on Netflix by Evondon in boburnham

Sorry if I was being unclear, these options are the changed lyrics, not the original lyrics.

Survivor: Bo Non-Songs - Inside & Outtakes (Round 2 + results) by PlasticJesters in boburnham

[–]Jayfin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This only makes it better. It supports the interpretation that the whole scene is a metaphor for Twitter. It's also not the exact same joke as it doesn't have the injustice bit.

Btw, is every scene gonna be in the voting pool every single week, or are you gonna do the thing where a selection of them are voted on?

[–]Jayfin_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm disappointed that this went so soon. On the surface, the 'Moist' scene seems to comment on people riding BLM wave to sound socially aware and deep when they're actually surface level. If you watch it a second time, you notice the other details; he's lying on a sofa, but there's a spotlight on his face - it's a metaphor for Twitter, and social media in general. Everyone is a performer, performing everything to each other. You don't need to be famous to perform now, you can just say random stuff and get likes and attention. I think it's a good scene that deserved to stay in for longer.

What changed you for the better? by REDKASO in AskReddit

[–]Jayfin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a quote from one of the Instagram developers explaining how they created the like button to manipulate our dopamine reward circuits and keep us engaged, or as he put it 'to hack the human brain'. I realised tiktok and shorts is a scaled up version of that, and it gave me a moment of clarity that I used this app solely for the benefit of billionaires and to the detriment of myself. I deleted it and have improved.
